Putnam Man Arrested On 30 Counts Of Exploitation, Statutory Rape

A Putnam County man has been indicted on 30 counts including charges of statutory rape and sexual exploitation of a minor.

A TBI investigation of 27-Year-Old Dylan Ray Martin found sexual interactions with three juveniles from 2016 to 2019. Agents arrested Martin on Tuesday, and he was booked into the Jackson County Jail on a $150,000 bond.

Agents began investigating Martin in June 2020 after a complaint of a male having inappropriate sexual contact with minors. The Office of the 15th District Attorney General requested the investigation, and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office assisted.

The Jackson County Grand Jury returned indictments Monday with the following violations: two counts Statutory Rape by an Authority Figure, 12 counts Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, two counts Statutory Rape, one count Especially Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, 12 counts Soliciting Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, and one count Aggravated Statutory Rape.
